BoZeman to Butte.

HELENA, August 16.-Col. Clough, en-
gineer of the Northern Pacific, returned
last evening on the eastern train from his
dnties on the line of the proposed rail
road from Bozeman to Butte. The Col
is authority for saying that the prelim
mary surveys are completed and that he
is now engaged in locating the line Of the
proposed road The connection between
Bozeman and Butte is to be made by
building a railroad which would start
from point on the Northern Pacific
about half way between Moreland and
Gallatin, and cross the Jefferson in north
westerly direction, pursuing the Boulder
river up to Boulder City and connecting
with the Boulder Valley and Butte now
under construction at that point The
proposed road will be about forty miles
long between the points named, making
the total distance from Bezeman to Butte
ninety-nine miles. 1t is said that the
grades of the route are very favorable and
the road can be built quickly and cheaply
By this road, which will be commenced
this fall, the Butte people will be brought
more than hundred miles nearerby rail

Opposing the Match.

The California papers have but little
more than got their appetites sharpened
for the Mcdonald divorce case before
another one blazes forth and calls for
whole columns of details All the excite
ment is about an old lady In Woodland,
worth about 100000, who has announced
her intention of marrying one of her ranch
hands who is only about half her age. hut
who is handsome and a good manager.
The old lady is Mrs. A. Moore, aged 65.
She is the mother of r. A. Moore of Reno.
She has three married daughters who are
raising Cain about the match. They have
enlisted a host of neighbors on their side
and all Woodland is in an uproar. Mrs.
Moore is threatened with the insane asy.
lun,, and her intended with arrest. But
for the 300, 200, Mr.. Black her intended
would probably be allowed to take the.
old lady in welcome.

Greatly Exaggerated.

The Butte Miner has evidently learned
incorrectly that this city is overrun with
hoodIums, for it says: "Great Falls is be-
ginning to realize there is no rose without
thorn, nor railway construction without
an advance guard of thugs and worse. No
town in Montana has had railroad faeili
ties without being cursed by horde of
hangers-on. camp followers, tin-horn gam
blers and the scum of the earth. When
reaching settled localities their actions
are less openly villainous, but in the pri-
vate walks of their calling, to which they
relegate themselves with careless abandon,
their doings are equally as vile. Montana
has no need for an increase in population
if her populace is to be constituted of the
sort of which the Montana Minneapolis

port, in which he steps beyond the line of
engineering to pass judgment on the fu-
ture commerce of the upper Missouri,
with the seeming purpose of injuring
the prospects of the great waterway, has
justly brought down upon himself the
criticisms of the MontaIa press. In his
profession as an engineer we are willing
to grant that Captain Sears has eminent
qualifications, but his judgment as to the
commerce of the upper Missouri is not
worthy of much consideration, because
his knowledge of the country tributary to
that stream is decidedly limited" Thus

The Way to Great Falls.

The Manitoba track is now considerably
beyond the second crossing of Milk river
on its way to Great Falls. A correspon-
dent who has been in the Milk river val
ley says: "For some distance from the
end of the track our course was among
hills and along the margin of deep ra-
vines, but presently we dropped into the
valley of the Milk, which courses its way
toward the south. This valley was about
six miles wide and extending from the
Rocky mountains to point near the
crossing of the Manitoba. where the river
empties into the Missouri The valley is
generally level and produces an abund-
'ance of grass and hay which is regarded
by the stuck growers of eastern and south
ern Montana to be the most nutrious
grown in this territory. The time is not
far distant when this great and fertile val
ley with its magnificent growth of timber
and rich farming lands will be no longer
the undisputed property of rapidly di-
minishing band Of red skins, but will go
back to the government to the end that
enterprising pale face may grow up and
possess it: thus adding one more link to
the great commercial chain that binds us
so firmly to the great nations of the earth" ."

legitimate horse racing ever witnessed on
the Montana turf, rejecting great credit
both upon the owners of those very fast
steppers and the West Side association.
With single exception, it was also the
fastest race in the history Of equine sport
in the territory. The contest was virtually
between Rolla and Senator, the Belmont
mare being out of her usual good form.
1t was race for blood beyond the per-
adventure of doubt and was witnessed
with breathless interest by the great crowd
present. Senator being but four years
old had the disadvantage of immaturi- y,
as his competitor is five years his senior.
Considering his age he made wonderful
record for speed and staying qualities,
and in not one of the three heats was there
daylight between the horses at the finish.
He is the perfection of horse and made
Rolla do his best work to keep in the
front, the second heat being made in 2::24,
which only Ranchero has, so far, beaten
in Montana. Rolla, too, is great horse
as honest as Diogenes aud as steady as a
clock. He put in his three heats without
a mistake and fairly earned the honor
which is his. Montana should be proud
of these speedy steppers. They are great
animals in any country. The race gave
general satisfaction, the losers seeming to
forget their defeat in the enjoyment of a
contest at once so we'll matched, so excit-

GirdIes for Girls.

The girdle has grown to be monstrous
fad with the girls, says New York cor
respondent. This morning, in an elevat-
ed car, found myself beside an acquaint-
ance who has some pretense to social
position. Her slim figure was encircled
by huge silver girdle, from one side of
which dangled forty six little chains. At
the end of every chain was trinket. We
fell to talking about them, and l looked
them over, while she chatted about the
history of everyone.
"Where did you collect them all?" I
asked.
Everywhere" she said, with a shrug.
"Don't you find them trouhlesome?"

"They supply subjects Of conversation

Watering Cows in Summer.

Any animal giving milE requires fre-
qnent watering. While many cows in
winter will only drink once q day, they
will IN summer require water three times,
morning, noon and night, and drink heart
lily each time. The water even in SUM
mer is better for standing where it will
be nearly blood warmth. Fresh water
from the we'll is for this season not so
good as that from streams or ponds, where
it is warmed by the surrounding air
Doubtless water as cold as ice is not best
for human beings, but we have no such
practical test of its bad effects as any one
can have from giving it to milch cows.
